Petroleum Corporation stated that the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery will be kept closed for 5 days from today.
Managing Director of the Petroleum Corporation Susantha de Silva said that there will not be any shortage of fuel supply due to the closure of the Sapugaskanda Refinery.
He said a tank-ship carrying crude oil from Dubai has developed a technical failure in high seas, and this has caused the closure of the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery.
